2025 WHUF Interim Briefing

The Washington Highway Users Federation (WHUF) is a nonprofit association, focused primarily around education on transportation related matters. The organization holds an Interim Briefing every year to discuss public policies that impact transportation in Washington State. This is a great way to connect and network with a wide range of people involved in the state’s transportation system.

This is an educational event. All legislators and legislative staff are invited to attend free of charge. Please register in advance and select the Legislator/Legislative Staff option using your leg.wa.gov email address.

As our state continues to navigate a range of transportation challenges, the WHUF Interim Briefing offers an invaluable forum for policymakers, stakeholders, advocates, and partners to connect, collaborate, and engage in meaningful dialogue on pressing transportation issues.
